Looking for a *FREE* Sybase SQL Server Database for Production, Development, Testing or whatever you want to do with it?

UPDATE 4/10/2013:

SAP/Sybase has made it known that they will not be distributing Sybase SQL Server 11.0.3.3 for Linux. So, if you still need it, you will need to look elsewhere. If you need to ask me where to look, I can’t help ya. Arh matey

The current version (ASE 11.0.3.3 ESD#6) package is different from previous distribution of ASE 11.0.3.3. The

new package separates ASE and OC/OS SDK. Also OC/OS is now available for Alpha platform. You can also find FreeBSD version of the package. Intel, Alpha and FreeBSD releases differ only in packaging and they are all built from the same source.

Software is FREE for development as well as Deployment.

Adaptive Server Enterprise 11.0.3.3 ESD#6 for Linux runs on Linux systems with Kernel 2.2.12 and glibc-2.1.2-11 installed. Verify that your system meets the hardware/software requirements before installing the software.

Download Cover Letter and follow the instructions. After extracting the software README files in various directories, $SYBASE/CONFIGURE and $SYBASE/doc/howto/howto-ase-quickstart.html provide more information to install and configure the product

You would have to contact Sybase TechSupport who will refer you to Sybase Professional Services.

If you have a backup of the original Sybase SQL Server 11.0x, 11.5x 11.9.2.x or 12.0x software, you should be able to load it. I don’t believe 12.5 or higher can read an 11.0x dump file but I might be wrong.

You might be able to find the old software on eBay or some other auction site.
